Nito special indeed. I'll say 1990 that was awesome for sure.

Wow. Where were you living...same house?

I was living in Maple Ridge, but I'm now in Langley, at least for now.

Your profile still says Maple Ridge.

1990 in Surrey we had a 40 cm snowfall right after Christmas. At the end we had a 2 day snowfall which totaled another 40 cm, then it turned to rain. I remembered it stayed as snow for 3 days in Abbotsford and I think there was freezing rain as well.

CMC and GFS Ensembles show completely opposite solutions.

Wasn't that the winter Mount Baker recorded their highest snowfall for the month of January? or for the season?

WTHeck stuffers you get married and you left the neighborhood when did you sneak out there? did you take the garden with you? no wonder no veggie reports or jogging at 6 in the morning and running into bears. You've gone rogue on us.

I'd go with 1990/91 as well.

Two top tier arctic outbreaks with a prolonged outflow induced windstorm on the 18th and 19th of December.

Winds gusted 102 km/h on the 18th and then a 115 km/h gust was recorded on the 19th with temperatures dipping down to around -8 and -9C. Wind chills were in the -20's. After it slightly warmed up for a couple days, another direct discharge of arctic air came down and outflow winds once again roared with a 96 km/h gust recorded on the 28th and temperatures dropping back down to around -9C. A couple days later, a massive snowstorm hit dropping 43.8 cm on Abbotsford with the heaviest snow falling when they temperature was around -7 and -8C. Another brief warmup but then another reload of arctic air came in early January with another significant snow event. 29.2 cm fell on January 7th and another 15.4 cm fell on the 8th. The snow changed to freezing rain on the evening of the 8th and temperatures gradually warmed. This would end the winter craziness.

2008/09 may have been more significant for other areas north of the Fraser but for Abbotsford, 1990/91 was pretty insane.

Unfortunately, I was not born until July 1991 so I missed it.

Ah that's why our winters have warmed since Jr. was born l knew there was a reason.

I don't smoke but it looks like the models do.
